Sermon Tone Analysis

Intro:

In the Jr High ministry we have been going through the Gospel of Mark.

And over the last few weeks we have been looking at the last week of Jesus’ earthly ministry, what we call Passion Week.

this all starts on the the Sunday before Jesus’ crucifixion, what we know it as Palm Sunday, the Triumphal Entry.

see Jesus’ ministry, the things He has been doing, the people He has encounter have all been leading to this moment in time when Jesus will enter the City of Jerusalem.

It is here at this moment , on what we know as Palm Sunday, that Jesus will ride on a colt into the City, with the people proclaiming hosanna , or save now....

Jesus is entering the City proclaiming himself not only as king but also as the saving Messiah, fulfilling the prophecy of Zech.

9:9

In the book of Dan. 9 it speaks of the timing of the messiah entering the City , the time frame given by Daniel is precise , and Jesus fulfilled that prophecy to the day, on this day that He entered the City.

For 3 years Jesus has been proclaiming the good news, He has been healing the sick, forgiving sins and all the while, He has made it a point to say.... ‘MY time is not yet come”.....

The reason He would say that was because He understood the perfect timing of God, and the prophecies that would have to be fulfilled, so the way Jesus would enter into Jerusalem and the time He would enter Jerusalem were all important.
